" I had the opportunity to train with Forrest while visiting down in Florida and I must say it was truly game changing. I have been freediving and Spearfishing for around ten years now but have never focused on only freediving. I have always dove with talented freedive spearos and hunted up to 100ft, but have never in my life seen someone freedive as good as Forrest. He personally spotted 4 of us diving 100-140ft and was with us every step of the way, providing excellent feedback and encouragement. He is so comfortable in the water and is such a great instructor I would recommend him to anyone wanting to learn to freedive or even to sharpen your skills if you are already a great freediver. I set two personal records in a short time diving with ease after listening to Forrest. Hands down one of the nicest and down to earth guys you will meet. Sign up with Go Native Freediving if you want the best instruction anyone can give."

" We signed up, pre hurricane Michael, for a @go_native_freediving certification. Then our plans changed so we couldn't attend the course. The owner Forrest actually set up an amazing private certification with ​​​​Tanner Pedersen so we could get our freediving certification! Tanner was an amazing instructor! After the first day of amazing instruction and a new breath hold record for me, I woke up day two with congestion. We still went through day two of instruction without pushing my inability to equalize. Little did we know my problem equalizing was due to an ear infection that would continue for days after the certification. Tanner was completely understanding of the randomness of my ear infection and offered to retest my dives after it went away.

Go Native's services are above par! Their pricing is amazing! But the people... Are what makes this company truly special. Tanner even drove us out to a special spring for our day two just so we would be able to see more wildlife. "
